Forest Lakes Chesapeake Virginia

Forest Lakes in Chesapeake, Virginia is one of my most favorite neighborhoods in Chesapeake. The curving roads that wind through this neighborhood are named primarily after trees such as Oak, Cherry and Birch.  The two man-made lakes within the neighborhood provide a popular rooste for local water fowl and herons and egrets are frequently sighted on the banks of the lakes.  If you walk through Forest Lakes on any morning, you will hear the sound of birds as they welcome the day.
